Ryan Fox Calls Out PGA Tour Pros for One Infuriating Slow-Play Habit: "It's Not Hard"

Reigning Open champion Ryan Fox has reignited debate over pace of play on the PGA Tour, singling out a specific habit that frustrates him among professionals. Speaking ahead of the 2026 DP World India Championship, Fox criticized golfers who delay their turn by making shot decisions only once it’s their time to play, rather than preparing beforehand.

He acknowledged that challenging conditions—such as firm greens, rough terrain, or tricky pin positions—can justify extra time, but argued that many delays are unnecessary. Fox, known for his lightning-fast playing style, pointed to his own 2026 Open Championship victory at Royal Birkdale as an example of how efficiency can coexist with high-pressure performance.

While he admitted exceptions exist—such as rulings or direct interference—he emphasized that most players could easily improve by being ready when their turn arrives. His frustration aligns with broader concerns about slowing play, though he stopped short of advocating for strict rule changes, instead calling for a cultural shift in professional golf etiquette.
